For several years, now, females have been losing tasks after daring to express the view that biology is genuine and essential.

Companies and public bodies, caught by the demands of extremist trans activists, have actually exacted harsh punishments on those expressing completely mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a number of these cases. During these, we have actually heard scary details of ladies treated abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who urged and enforced the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it came to single-sex areas.

We have actually heard of ladies bullied and shunned for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into ladies's areas, from changing rooms to domestic violence refuges.

Equally undoubtedly, those females capable of fighting back have actually been winning legal actions.

But even a rock solid case does not make it easy to strike back. Good legal representatives are pricey and the procedure is draining, both physically and mentally.

For every lady who has triumphed in court, there are numerous more for whom launching a legal case appeared difficult.

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal security of their rights instantly gets rid of any financial barriers to action for those with feasible cases.

Author JK Rowling has actually established a fund to support ladies's legal defense of their rights

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, be concentrating minds in personnels departments throughout the country.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology rather than paperwork, a number of organisations - in both the public and personal sectors - have actually provided declarations revealing their choices to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and careless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The truths are basic. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not individual identity.

The law is the law and no further consideration is required in order for companies to satisfy their commitments under it.

A variety of past legal actions after ladies were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for refusing to agree with the mantra "trans ladies are women" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling often promoted - and donated to - such fundraisers.

Now, she's a one-woman crowd-funder, prepared to back the cases of every woman mistreated at work for speaking the fact about sex.

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will transform the battlefield when it concerns ladies victimized for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be vulnerable people playing for high stakes but the human cost means nothing to the insurance providers underwriting employers' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the prospect that every woman with a case now has access to the finest attorneys in the organization will, I suspect, motivate many to urge settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inescapable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one needed proof that women's rights are in requirement of the fiercest security, it can be found in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty pathos, one activist legal representative declared online that the Harry Potter creator had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he described as the "anti feminist biology is fate movement".

Ms Rowling has never remained in the shadows when it concerns her views on women's rights, has she?

Other actions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the issue of the way so called "gender important" ladies had been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some political leaders to address a problem they preferred to prevent.

Scottish Labour's leader Anas Sarwar and his deputy, Jackie Baillie, revealed their assistance for Ms Peggie and declared their belief in the value of biological sex.

If they 'd known what they know now, they included, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's plan to permit anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court may have required an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour leadership on the matter of biological truth, others stay stubbornly committed to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a terrific Wodehousian satire of an innovative cell - stay dedicated to using single-sex spaces by anyone who feels they belong to that sex.

There have actually been current declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually permitted a trans female to run for a women-only position on its national executive council.

But every act of performative defiance by well-funded trade unions - or taxpayer-funded local authorities and health boards - is another expensive legal action in the making.

It should not have actually been needed for JK Rowling to guarantee to finance the legal costs of women discriminated versus for their views on sex and gender. Nobody must ever have actually lost a task, a promo, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.

Nor ought to the novelist have actually felt it essential to develop, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only support service for victims of sexual violence in the Lothian area.

Ms Rowling's decisions to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of females discriminated versus for thinking in the reality of sex are acts of feminist philanthropy which, in a world not made batty by gender ideology, would have been hailed by our politicians.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the author's mind however isn't it downright unusual that, when he talks of the achievements of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever mentions the assistance Beira's Place has given to numerous females?

Money is not the only thing females doing something about it to defend their rights need. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the psychological support of good friends and allies is vital.

This convenience will not remain in short supply for those females who receive support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer becomes part of an international network of campaigners, fighting to secure females's rights versus the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and support do not go unheeded.

Let the country's human resources departments brace themselves. A most amazing plot twist has just been composed.
